The Citizen reasons thusly: "Let the Indians be put on the Verde reservation as contemplated, and kept there. If the two final words of the last sentence be lived up to there will be no trouble. but should they be violated then let the Indians lie down to them. The reser- vation is for the Indian and YavapaI county with its s7.ooo population should see that it is keps so. Kill all that stray from it q you would kill hungry veli, and the salutary effect on those wthin the fold. will be productive of great good. This is the policy of the Citizen. We be- lieve it A I, and will never cease to teach it as long as an Indian remains within the confines of the territory. We are among the admirers of Sheriff Fryes. o( Pinal.

Tho Campaign h ns~ vesk.

In ISS4 New York decided the presi- dential election by an insignificant plu- rality. It seems not unlikely that the same thing may occur in 1888. This possibility adds exceptional interest to the campaign in that state this year.
 The contest has in it several uncertain elements. but il would seem that the re- publicans have exceedingly favorable prospects, The party is united, harmo- nious and confident There are no ele- ments of disorganization. The ticket is strong and unexceptionable. The cam paign is to be aggressiv. and vigorous The edort will be to get out as full vote as possible in an od year.
 The democrats are not in equally good shape. There is dissension in their ranks; a Cleveland and anti Cleveland faction. There is an important detection among the laboring voters Both the Henry George and the socialist factions will cut into the democratic vote. What the combined strength of their vote w,ll

Ireland is in . horrible condition

Ireland is in . horrible condition from some cause. Statistics show that one-tenth of the population. for the last year, have been compelled to ask assis- tance from the outside to sustain life. This year the potato crop has been . partial faiIlre and the chances are that broad spread famine will blight the Emerald Isle before another year goes around. There are several causes, each ot which, probably, contributes largly to this state of affairs in that unhappy coun- try. Flint and foremost comes the Irish agitation; then English coercion, the Irish eviction the apparently natural in stinct of the Irishman to become . street corner politician and spend his time in somewhat improbable political spec ula- ton. and then the repeated failure of crops in that most unfortunate country. -Ex.

The importance of having ooe's stock brand recorded was demonstrated in Tucson recently, in the trial Of Colonel Clemenshire. The defendant is wealthy stock man of southern Arizona. His range adjoins that of Maisch ( Driscoll, the largest stock firm in the teEritory. The latter accused Clemenshi.s Of brand ing stock belonging to them. A defense was set up that as Maisch & Driscoll had tailed to record their brand, although in business for years. that they could not prove property. and ou this showing the court ordered the jury to return 2 yer dict for the defendant, which was done. Not only should brands be recorded, but they should be published in the newspapers.

 OFFICE CT THE PROBATE JUDGE
 Or YAvAPAI CoUNTY,
 PREscorT, A. T.. Oct. 5, 1881. To the Hosor.ble Bo ,rd os supsrvisoes q Yavspai ''ounty, Prescott. Arisoas:
 GkNTLEMEN-I desire to call your at tentioc to the condition of the docket of the court over which l have the honor to pceside, with . view to securing your eo-operation in inaugurating . much needed reform.
 For many years past the unfinished business ot the probate court of your county has been permitted to accumu- late until there are at present pending and unsettled . very large number of estates of deceased persona Some i them have been filed % long that apps rently even the parties appointed to ad- minister on them have forgotten their existence; % general indeed. has be- come this system of maladministration that the old proverb-"Death pays all debss"-seems strikingly true when ap- plied to the estates which have become pigeonholed in your probate oourt Such . condition of affairs not only works a hardship upon parties interested in es- tates, either as heirs or creditors, but brings discredif and disrepute home 10 the doom Of all whose duty it is to see that in such matters justice be done te- tween the living and the dead.
 While probate judges are given ample authority, under the Iaw. to require and enforce the prompt settlement of all es- tates pending in their courta yet the re- quiremsnts ot the statutes in regard to the collection and payment of their fees monthly into the county treasurer, virtu- ally prohibits them from acting unless all costs incurred are frs forthcoming. ~ers l at any tune to proceed by sum- mary process to force de.slict adminis- trators to do their duty. the result would be the creation of expenses in tho way of fees fas which would be personally responsible. yet which l could not possi- ply meet Nov. the cooperation l ds- sire on your part is simply to the extent of relieving me by m order of your honorable body. if such can be legally made. from all responsibility for fees in- cured in the settlement of pending es- tates. where time will be required to collect the same. Public interest and public justice alike demand that such estates should be settled. but without the assistance on your part that I have re- quested, l am free to confess that l can see no way in which . settlement can be effected in large number of them.
 very respectfully

The cenetltutionaI celobsasien.

Tho Constitutional celobsasien.
 In conversation yesterday with Con-
 missioner Henszey, we were led to in quire by whom the initiative vas taken in the recent constitutional celebration,
 believing that while due credit should be
 awarded to those who carried he.nos-
 ster demonstration to success, the fatber
 of the project should not be overlooked.
 In reply, MT. Henszey said be was
 pleased to be afforded an opportunity to do justice to the public-spinted citizen.
 who not only conceived the idea of eel ebrating the centennial of the constitu-
 .ion, but also carried out the Yorktown
 centennial and inaugurated the great
 centennial of 1876. Colonel Jesse E.
 Peyton, of Haddou6eld. Y. J., n the
 individual man of broad ideas, in- domitabie will power and great execu- tive ability. His friends are legion, ard
 possessing their entire confidence. the ideas be projects are brought to full fruition. while be with becoming mod esty remains in retirement. Colonel
 Peyton's friends, both personal and po- itical, have. of course, contributed largely to the success of his various un- destakings, while manufacturers and merchants throughout the state of New Jersey. in which he lives, are ever ready to second his propositions An evidence of this is nov to be seen in the souvenir of the late centennial, which vas re- gently received by Governor Zulick. It is a beautiful cup and saucer. elaborately both pieces bearing the governors name. Itis of Baleeke ware, is but triAe thicker than eggshell. and takes position with the finest and most foreign productiora Dupli- cates were presented to the governors of the several states and territories. They were made by the firm of Ott ( Brewer, Trenton. N. J.. who seconded Colonel Peyton's idea of commemofatiug this important national event. and gladly em- braced the opportunity to send . greet ing to every state through its executive.
 We are inclined to agree with MT. Henssey that the action Of Colonel Pey- lon and his associates in the.e national celebrations affords a conclusive refutA- ton to the character frequently ascribed to Jerseymen. and gives cause for the | belIef that other localities can well afford | 'o initiate the liberal spirit displayed by citizens ef that small but important |

The Sentinel exaggerates somewhat but still states . good deal Of truth when it says that "Yuma county ofes better inducements for the investment of capi- tai than any other pant of the Pacific coast. Her mineral and agricultural re- sources are wonderful, and will remun- crate the capital which may be invested in the development thereof, thousand fold" What is true of the advantages offered by Yuma eoun'y is true of otbef counties in the territosy. Maricopa, Pima and . portion Of Pinal have equal agricultural facilities and advantages. while Yavapai. Cochise. Mohave. 0ra- ham and Gila can ofer equal induce ments for mining investments, and Apa- che has agriculture and grazlng. with . small mining section, to offer for the in vestment of capital When it comes down to "all the year" climate. however. w'th delightful summers and oracing and frosty. but not excessively cold. winters old Yavapai leads them all.

"The paper still lives" laughed he. and is immortal"
 Continuing. MT. Welch said he had at first printed an account of the vrecking of the Madison Fire Insurance company at Madison, on Aug. |. 1881, without mentioning Mir. Villas by name, and that Villas had come to his law office with his Yazoo tactics and threatened him with personal injury. They clinched and Welch threw Villas to the floor. An &C., count ot the interview afterwards sp- peared in the Diary.
 "After getting Villas do.n," continued Welch, ''he said he wanted to talk to me. 1 let him up an1 then we had some cen vessation. l asked him how much money be had taken upon the breaking Of the insurance company. He stated he had taken $I8. .ooo. and stated the sums that two or three others of the directors had taken. told him be had no business with that money and that it belonged to the members ofthe company.

 When asked as to the reason of the present suit, Welch said: "I don't blame him for prosecuting me. He has got to do so or go out of the cabinet"
